RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/ERK signaling cascade and the phosphoinosytol-3 phosphate/Akt (PI3K/Akt) pathways are involved in proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic cells. The frequency of PI3K/Akt and MAPK pathway activation in adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) still need to be elucidated. AIMS: To assess the activity and prognostic implications of MAPK/ERK and PI3K/Akt pathways in adult (ALL). METHODS: We examined 28 precursor-B-cell ALL and 6 T-cell primary ALL samples. Flow cytometry was employed to analyze the expression levels of phosphorylated ERK and phosphorylated Akt. RESULTS: Ten out of 15 (67%) ALL fresh samples (7 B-cell, 3 T-cell) showed constitutive p-ERK expression. The p-ERK mean fluorescent index ratio (MFI (R)) showed a tendency to be higher in ALL than in normal T lymphocytes (1.26 [0.74-3.10] vs. 1.08 [1.02-1.21], respectively [p = .069]) and was significantly lower than in leukemic cell lines (median MFI (R) 3.83 [3.71-5.97] [p < .001]). Expression of p-Akt was found in 35% (12/34) (10 B-cell, 2 T-cell). The median MFI (R) expression for p-Akt in primary blast cell was 1.13 (0.48-9.90) compared to 1.01 (1.00-1.20) in normal T lymphocytes (p = ns) and lower than in leukemic cell lines (median MFI (R) 2.10 [1.77-3.40] [p = .037]). Moreover, expression of p-ERK was negatively associated with the expression of CD34 (1.22 [0.74-1.33] vs. 1.52 [1.15-3.10] for CD34(+) and CD34(-) group, respectively, p = .009). CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that both MAPK/ERK and PI3K/Akt are constitutively activated in adult ALL, indicating a targeted therapy potential for ALL by using inhibitors of these pathways.
